This 1986 AMC Jeep CJ7 was a project car that I purchased back in 2005. A year later my third child was born and since a family of 5 does not fit well in a CJ7 my usage of this classic CJ has continually declined to the point that I have not licensed it in the last two years and only driven it around the neighborhood to keep the battery charged. Now it is time to let someone else continue her restoration.
- 4.2L (258 c.i.) inline six-cylinder with a Howell Throttle Body Injection instead of the notorious Carter BBD carburetor. The Howell TBI gives slightly improved performance, easier starting, and easily passes Colorado emissions tests.
- Dana 300 transfer case and a Torque-Flight TF999 automatic transmission.
- Almost new 33x12.5x15 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires
- Rubicon Express 2.5" suspension lift kit.
- Hard top and hard doors plus a Bestop Soft Top and 2 piece soft doors
- Warn "shorty" front bumper
- Oversized rear bumper with spare tire carrier and 2" receiver
- 20 gallon gas tank
- Differential gliders front and rear
- Tub is very solid
- The paint is a 6 out of ten. It looks good in most places but is bubbling, chipping, or has surface rust just ahead of the doors and on the hard doors at the hinges and on the rear window post
- Water stain on top of the soft top that is not visible from the ground unless you are 7 feet tall
- Soft top is missing a zipper on the left rear window insert
- Even though this has a 20 gallon tank the previous owner left the standard 15 gallon fuel pickup in the tank so the last 4+ gallons is unusable
- The spare tire is on a black rim instead of matching chrome rim
- The seat covers are waterproof but have some sun discoloration and small rips and tears

Jeep teases pair of Moab concepts early
Tue, 19 Mar 2013With the 47th annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari coming up at the end of this month, Jeep is preparing to roll out six new off-road-ready concept vehicles. The first two being teased are the Jeep Grand Cherokee "Trailhawk II" concept and the Jeep Wrangler "Slim," and while we have no information on either, we at least get an idea of what they'll look like.
We can't tell why this Wrangler is called Slim, but it has a nice black-and-red paint scheme with a serious off-roading front bumper and five-spoke beadlock wheels. There's even less we can figure out about the Grand Cherokee's Trailhawk II concept except that it appears to be painted up in the same Crusher Orange paint job as the recently introduced SRT Viper TA. We'll likely more of these as well as peeks at the other Moab concepts as we get closet to this year's Moab Easter Jeep Safari, which will be held March 23 through 31.
25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
2014 Jeep Cherokee musters 22 MPG city, 31 highway
Thu, 05 Sep 2013Production and media drive delays included, there has been no lack of press surrounding the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. With the most recent delay reportedly due to powertrain calibrations, we've been waiting to see how the Cherokee's fuel economy looks against the highly competitive compact CUV segment. Thanks to the EPA, we now know the fuel economy figures for the newest member of the Jeep family.
Arguably, the Cherokee has the most modern powertrain in its class with an updated base engine, all-new V6 and all-new nine-speed automatic transmission, but its fuel economy figures are simply on par for the segment. Still nothing to scoff at, though. According to fueleconomy.gov, front-wheel-drive Cherokee models with the base four-cylinder mill will top out the lineup with 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the highway; opting for four-wheel drive with this engine drops the figures to 21 city and 28 highway. Get even crazier with the option list, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 will get you 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway in two-wheel-drive form or 19 city and 27 highway for 4WD.
If you're wondering how that stacks up among compact CUVs, head on over to Automobile Magazine for a full fuel economy breakdown for the segment. The controversially styled crossover hits dealers this month, and we'll be driving it in just a couple of weeks.
